Neck pickup to match my CS bridge humbucker.

Re: Neck pickup to match my CS bridge humbucker.

With neck pickups, it comes down to scooped or not:
Scooped: Jazz, '59
Not Scooped: APH-1, or -2

Yes, there are others, but these are the beginning of the search, and might give you everything you need. Do you need tight lows? Do you use the neck pickup for soloing, rhythm or both? What level of gain?

I like my neck pickup for soloing/lead stuff. Low gain usually, but tight lows aren't a goal as far as what I want to hear.

I was kinda disappointed with the '59N when it was in my Les Paul Classic. I like the '59 bridge for a versatile, low output tone--which has nothing to do with the '59N I realize, but it was just a little muddy (lack of a better adjective).

I'm a big fan of the A459n for situations where a standard 59n is too boomy.

This is a cool little mod to cut lows out of a neck pickup that's a little too tubby, the nice thing about it is it takes about 5 minutes to do, is totally reversible, and can also by enagaged/bypassed via a miniswitch/Push-pull
